A Hexxx on all of us: Mischa Barton, movie star

Continuing the never ending but always depressing
trend of trying to turn hot young things who can't act on TV into movie stars, that fatty Mischa Barton is set to star in Hexxx, a "supernatural thriller centering on college students
in New Orleans." (Every time I see the woman on The O.C., I find it almost impossible to
comprehend that she was that wildly talented, wonderfully natural little girl in Lawn Dogs. I mean, what the hell happened?)
The movie, which was written by the nondescript team of John
Raffo and Mark Gibson (notable because he been hired to write the
inevitably hilarious Coach Snoop, which is exactly what it
sounds like it is), will be directed by Marc Schoelermann, a German director who is making his feature film debut. Also rumored to be in the cast is another
sullen TV star, ER'sShane West. So,
overall, it's a team to be reckoned with - 2007 Oscars, here they come!
